Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC expanded to 25 original Xbox games on November 12, 2026, adding 21 titles in supported countries. The release also adds mouse and keyboard controls across the PC collection, while the four games already available receive improvements to performance and stability.
The PC releases require Windows 11 and a download, with access limited to select markets. In its announcement, Xbox notes that features differ between games and that players may need a game purchase or Game Pass subscription.
New arrivals include The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, TimeSplitters 2, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, Red Faction II and Armed and Dangerous. Morrowind and another addition, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, are also available through Xbox Game Pass. The Star Wars additions include Battlefront, Battlefront II, Republic Commando and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.
The earlier PC releases were BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, Conker: Live and Reloaded, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and Fuzion Frenzy. All four are also available through Xbox Game Pass. Those initial releases reached PCs including handhelds in the ROG Xbox Ally family.
Achievements arrive for four games: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper and Conker: Live and Reloaded. The achievement support extends to Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles, where players need the latest system update. Some achievements can unlock using progress players have already made.
Xbox plans further original Xbox releases for PC and intends to expand achievement support to additional games from the original console.
